  • What’s proper etiquette on social media? If I get an e-vite, do I have to respond?

    By Dianne Isbell| Belleville News-Democrat Verified Q. When someone sends you an e-vite on social media for an event you are sponsoring or organizing, shouldn’t the recipient respond one way or the other? Isn’t it the same as sending a written invitation in the mail? A. Yes, I definitely feel it is appropriate to provide a timely response within 24 hours. If it is possible to thank the person for the invitation and letting them know if you are coming or not, do so. If it requires just a click of “yes” or “no,” then do that.

  • Borrowed prom dress comes back with a tear. Who should pay for it?

    By Dianne Isbell| Belleville News-Democrat Verified Q. I let my girlfriend borrow one of my prom dresses last fall for Homecoming at her school, and she didn’t return it. I had almost forgotten about it until I was starting to think about what I was going to wear to this year’s prom at a different school because I have already been asked by a new guy. This dress was a fabulous dress and it wasn’t cheap.
